The chief merchant officer of Gibson, Cesar Gueikian, spoke at the show, saying, “It is our honour to release this tribute ES-335 in his memory. It’s a guitar Chris fell in love with and which became a part of his creative expression.”

“Chris was a special artist,” he added. “We hope that this guitar will inspire fans to find their sound and inspiration, just like Chris did, for many years to come.”

Gibson shared a number of images to its website and social media pages. The guitar holds a classy satin finish in olive drab green and beautiful pearl peghead inlays, making it one of the most distinct and recognizable axes to date.

“When we first partnered with Chris to work on his original Gibson ES-335 artist model, it was immediately clear that he also had an innovative eye for guitar design,” wrote Gibson in an official statement.

It’s a reissue of Cornell’s 2013 signature model Memphis ES-355, except this time, the guitar features his iconic signature on the headstock and each tiny detail is tailored to his own preference, including the aged Lollartron humbuckers and the unique volume/tone knobs — which feature no numbers and a clear finish.

“Chris Cornell was a modern innovator who left a legacy that transcends genres or expectations,” they added. “His voice carried a generation into the unknown, but somehow always got us back home. We miss him dearly.”
